Or changing the color of your plates?

14
Alright now let's kick this list off starting at number one, make a water drinking schedule.
15
I know you've heard it time and time again
16
but there really is a reason why people always tell you to drink more water.
17
Upping your water intake is one of the cheapest yet most effective ways to shed unwanted pounds.
18
Water helps you burn more calories and reduces your appetite.
19
The hardest part is remembering to give your body regular doses of the H2O it desperately needs.
20
But don't worry, we've got you covered on how to make that easier.
21
Here's a sample water intake regimen that you can add to your daily routine.
22
Drink two glasses of water with lemon in the morning to wake your body up, hydrate your empty stomach, and boost metabolism.
23
Have one glass before lunch at around 11 a.m so you don't overeat.
24
After lunch, drink two glasses because this will help with digestion.
25
At 4 p.m., drink again to hold yourself over between lunch and dinner.
26
And you absolutely need to hydrate at dinner time
27
or after to help the food move easily and make your stomach feel lighter
28
Number two smell green apples or bananas before your meals Yep, you don't have to eat it just smell it whether you find this ridiculous
29
or not Smelling foods like bananas
30
or apples before meal time will ease your hunger making you eat less than you would have otherwise
31
This technique is scientifically proven by Dr. Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.
32
His research began with 3,193 overweight volunteers who he instructed to sniff bananas, green apples, and peppermint whenever they felt hungry.
33
After six months, some of them lost as much as a hundred pounds.
34
So how do you like them apples?
35
Number three, light a vanilla candle before dinner.
36
This might sound absurd considering how much vanilla goes into different cakes, muffins, and puddings.
37
But one study found that the vanilla scent works wonders when you're trying to lose weight.
38
It activates different chemical reactions in the brain, making you feel less hungry.
39
It can specifically help you tone down your sweet cravings, according to ICU dietician Catherine Collins, who led the study.
40
If you want to give it a try, buy some vanilla patches or light a vanilla candle before or during dinner.
41
As an added bonus, it'll give you a nice serene atmosphere while you enjoy your meal.
42
Number four, take pictures of your dishes.
43
Now you have one more reason, and a valid one, to upload your latest food conquest online just like so many people do on social media.
44
But how can a simple picture bring the number on the scale down for you?
45
Well, when you're trying to get the best shot to share on your social networking page, you can't help but notice the details of your food.
46
And this is perfect since it might make you stop for a second
47
and rethink what you're about to eat
48
If you've got a bunch of pictures on your page of pizza slices
49
and hamburgers dripping in globs of grease
50
or anything else over the top You just might be swayed to change your ways and start picking healthier options
51
Number five buy some blue plates
52
If you surround yourself with the color blue like putting up blue wallpaper
53
or eating from blue plates you'll lose weight much faster.
54
A study found that the color blue is an appetite suppressant which means it'll help you feel less hungry.
55
As for what colors you should avoid definitely red, yellow and orange which you might have noticed are the go-to color for fast food chains.
56
Well, that's because they stimulate your appetite and make you eat more.
57
Try using smaller plates too.
58
You know how we've all been programmed from childhood to clean our plates?
59
Well, you can totally do that and eat less if you use a smaller plate.
60
It's like tricking your own brain.
61
Number 6.
62
Eat eggs for breakfast and spicy foods for lunch.
63
It's been proven time after time that having eggs for breakfast helps achieve faster weight loss.
64
Not only are eggs low in calories, they're also really filling and hold you off for a longer time.
65
That means you won't feel tempted to snack in between meals.
66
Plus, they're full of vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as protein, zinc, and iron.
67
That's why experts consider the egg a superfood.
68
And if you combine that little trick with eating something with chili or red pepper for lunch, Not all the time though, it'll speed up your metabolism,
69
helping you achieve your dream body faster.
70
Spicy foods or the ingredients used to make them contain capsaicin, which helps suppress hunger and increase satiety.
71
But if you don't like spicy foods, then settling on eggs will do just fine.
72
Let's be honest, exercising and being careful of what you eat is a lot of work, and it can be downright tedious.
73
Well, all you gotta do is tweak your workout routine
74
or diet plan by adding some quirky challenges to make them
75
more fun Try doing 10 push-ups for every potato in your dinner
76
or run up and down the stairs five times for every time you enjoy a candy bar If you make it fun,
77
you won't even notice that you're burning calories Number eight sleep in a cold room Yes,
78
you can lose weight by sleeping and it's actually pretty easy.
79
The trick here is that if your body is surrounded by cold, it produces more heat to warm you up, which helps you burn calories.
80
It's as simple as that.
81
Just take it from the United States National Institutes of Health.
82
According to their research, sleeping in a cold room can activate and increase the body's brown fat, which in turn speeds up metabolism.
83
Level up this cool challenge by covering yourself with a thinner blanket or sleeping naked.
84
Bring on the smaller pant size.
85
Number 9.
86
Chew slowly and thoroughly.
87
It's natural to wolf down a meal because of a hectic schedule, especially on work or school days.
88
Yet it's been proven that if it takes you longer to eat and you consume your food slowly, you'll have an easier time losing weight.
89
This is based on studies from the Department of Healthcare Administration and Management at Kyushu University's Graduate School of Medical Sciences.
90
It's all due to the fact that chewing slowly
91
and thoroughly gives your stomach enough time to tell the brain that it's full.
92
That, in turn, makes you eat less.
93
Ideally, it should take you around 20 minutes to finish a meal.
94
Savor and enjoy your food and get the most out of each bite.
95
Number 10.
96
Drink a glass of wine daily.
97
That's right, folks.
98
This is based on a joint study conducted by Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health.
99
They found out that a glass of wine a day can help you lose weight faster.
100
Just don't overdo it, since the same study found
101
that people who drank more than two glasses of wine daily struggled more
102
when dieting versus those who didn't drink at all or had just one or two glasses.
103
So, if you're of age, cheers to a slimmer waistline!

About This Lesson
In questa lezione, praticherai l'ascolto e la pronuncia inglese attraverso un video che presenta 10 abitudini insolite per perdere peso. Imparerai a capire un discorso fluido, con toni conversazionali, e a ripetere frasi in tempo reale, migliorando la tua pronuncia inglese e la capacità di seguire un ritmo naturale. È un'ottima occasione per usare il "shadow speech", una tecnica efficace per rafforzare l'intonazione e la fluidità.
Parole chiave e frasi utili
- Unconventional: "Metodi non convenzionali" (usato per descrivere strategie non comuni).
- Boost metabolism: "Aumentare il metabolismo" (frase chiave nel contesto della perdita di peso).
- Sweet cravings: "Voglie di dolce" (espressione comune per indicare il desiderio di cibi dolci).
- Overeat: "Mangiare in eccesso" (azione da evitare, spesso menzionata nei consigli di salute).
- Serene atmosphere: "Atmosfera serena" (descrizione di un ambiente tranquillo).
Tips per la pratica
Per esercitarti con il "shadowing in inglese" su questo video, segui questi passaggi: 1) Ascolta un frammento di 5-10 secondi, poi ripetilo immediatamente, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità. Il video ha un ritmo conversazionale, non troppo veloce, quindi è perfetto per principianti. 2) Concentrati sulle pause tra le frasi: noterai che il narratore usa pause per enfatizzare i punti chiave, come "Well, it looks like it's time..." 3) Ripeti le frasi con vocaboli tecnici, come "metabolism" o "overeat", per migliorare la pronuncia inglese. 4) Usa lo "shadowing" tutti i giorni per 10-15 minuti: questa tecnica, anche chiamata "shadowspeaks", aiuta a internalizzare il flusso della lingua inglese in modo naturale. Ricorda: l'obiettivo è non solo ripetere, ma capire e imitare la comunicazione efficace. Imparare l'inglese con i video è un modo divertente e pratico per rafforzare le tue abilità linguistiche!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
